Ask a Dispatcher

Q. I have a neighbor that has 2 old crappy boats in his yard, a car on blocks, a fish smoker, and tons of junk in their yard/driveway. Are there any codes that would disallow this? Thanks for your answer.

Dear Juneau Resident,

You may have a community development enforcement issue. Below is a description from the community development website indicating when those folks can do enforcement. If you have a complaint you can call 586-0770 and ask for a code enforcement officer.

What is a Community Development Enforcement Violation?

Junk in excess of 200 s.f., such as:
Vehicles parked on the property that are untagged or have expired tags
Junk and debris either scattered or piled on the property in a disorderly fashion (i.e. glass, paper, wood)
Salvage furniture, household items and construction materials (i.e. tanks, drums, pipes, etc. strewn about the property)
Inoperable and abandoned vehicles parked on the property
